Jacob’s Bar Mitzvah at Marbles in Raleigh by Ellen Schaffer Photography

All Around Raleigh DJ continues our tradition as the most sought after Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah DJ in the area with Jacob’s upbeat and exciting Bar Mitzvah at Marbles Kids Museum. We provided an amazing dance light package with black lights, lasers, uplighting as well as photo booth and extra subwoofers. This was truly one to remember! Marbles Kids Museum is a hotspot for many kids, teens and families so it was the perfect venue for such a fun, once in a lifetime event. We had an amazing time getting to know Jacob and his family and friends. Below you can find pictures of the special traditions that occurred throughout the night as well the amazing party that we helped throw.

Stephanie & Patrick’s Wedding at Bay 7 in Durham, NC

November 18, 2023

It was all smiles at Stephanie & Patrick’s wedding at Bay 7 in Durham, NC and we’re so glad to have been able to provide the DJ service, lighting and photo booth on their wedding day. We’re also super pumped to share some images from one of our all-time favorite wedding photographers of their wedding by Connections Photography!

Their reception started off with the new couple and their very dapper wedding party walking in to the beautiful Bay 7 ballroom at the American Tobacco Campus with House of Pain’s “Jump Around” setting the perfect mood for the PARTY to come. The newlyweds took the dance floor to share their first dance as a married couple to “The Luckiest” by Ben Folds which is a fabulous song for a first dance.

The amazing dinner by the highly acclaimed Angus Barn was served and the Empty Pockets Band took over with their amazing performance. Stephanie & Patrick really wanted to hit it hard after dinner so the band took the rest of the night off!

After some very special and entertaining toasts by Stephanie’s sisters and Patrick’s Father, Patrick invited his Step-Mom out for a really touching dance to “Humble and Kind” by Tim McGraw. Then Stephanie and her father shared the dance floor to “Pintame” by Elvis Crespo which was a lot of fun and transitioned into a dance with the groom and is Mom to “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts. We broke open the dance floor with “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire but quickly transitioned to a ton of great hip-hop by Nelly, Young Joc, Fetty Wap, French Montana, Lil’ Wayne, Petey Pablo, Flo Rida, Lil Jon and a whole bunch more. It was an intense and crazy dance floor especially with the uplights going hard to turn Bay 7 into a night club for the night!

Patrick and Stephanie designed their timeline to maximize time spent on the dance floor and I’m really glad they did! Their friends and family kept dancing the entire time all the way up to the last song of the evening, “Wagon Wheel” by Old Crow Medicine Show. It was a fitting song to capture the mood of pure joy and celebration of this wedding. Congratulations and best wishes go out to Stephanie and Patrick!

Alina & Chase’s Wedding at The Maxwell Raleigh by Courtney Collins Photography

Alina & Chase were so much fun to work with and their vision for their wedding was amazing!

We got to work with and get to know Chase personally over a few years of working with him at events at a local event venue so to get to be a part of their wedding was truly an honor. The most important thing to Alina & Chase was that their wedding was fun for their friends and family so that is exactly what we set out to do! Every song and every moment was crafted to get everyone involved and let them know that this wedding was going to be fun for them too.

We got to work with a great wedding vendor crew and Addie with Dogwood Gatherings made it all so seamless and easy for us. We highly recommend her if you’re looking for a friendly and professional wedding planner. Enjoy the photos and all the smiling facing in them below from Courtney Collins Photography.

Congrats to two of our favorite people, Chase & Alina!

Liz + Trey Wedding at Market Hall Raleigh by Radian Photography – The Dabke Lebanese Dance

We were so incredibly lucky to be a part of Liz & Trey’s wedding at Market Hall! We got to know Elizabeth and Trey and their wonderful family over about a year. It was obvious very quickly that this wedding was going to a fun family affair. We even got to provide this amazing group of people with uplighting at Market Hall too!

The evening started with a spirited grand entrance to ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling’ by Justin Timberlake which really got the multi-generational crowd pumped up. We went straight into dinner with a welcome and blessing by Elizabeth’s Dad. After a wonderful and relaxing dinner, we moved onto Trey & Elizabeth’s First Dance, Father/Daughter and Mother/Son Dances followed by toasts on the timeless vintage mic. The newlyweds then moved onto the Cake Cutting of their beautiful cake done by Ashley Cakes.

The party that followed was epic! We opened up the dancing with the Palestinian heritage Dabke Wedding Dance which is always fun for everyone. The dance floor didn’t stop rocking for even one moment! Check out the pics below from Radian Photography.

Elizabeth & Trey were amazing to work with and we wish them the absolute best!

Nicole & John’s Silent Disco Wedding at Heights House in Raleigh, NC

October 5, 2023

Nicole & John’s Wedding at Heights House by S. H. Emory Photography

We had the pleasure of working with so many incredibly nice people from Nicole & John, their families & friends, the Officiant, planners to the rest of the wedding vendors. It is always nice when the clients reach out to personally thank us at the wedding!

Nicole & John chose to have a silent disco wedding and it was a great choice! If you’re not familiar with the silent disco trend, basically the DJ transmits two audio signals and the guests can choose which signal or channel to listen to through their headphones. It works great where there are noise restrictions and it is super fun to watch people dancing and going crazy when there is literally no music playing outside of the headphones hence the ‘silent disco’.

Heights House is truly a spectacular venue! The plans for an outdoor ceremony were in jeopardy due to heavy rains earlier in the week, but the skies cleared just in time and everything went off without a hitch. The outdoor tent was the perfect addition to help accommodate a ton of awesome people that came to celebrate with John & Nicole. The top notch staff was very helpful and made everything so darn easy for us!

Silent discos are a pretty new wedding trend in the Raleigh area and only one person in the room had ever participated in one. It was a lot of fun watching everyone enjoyed the different musical options. From the DJ’s perspective, it was even more fun trying to guess which channel they were listening to based on their dance moves.

It was definitely a unique event we won’t forget and we hope they enjoyed it as much as we did!

River & Alex’s Wedding at The Barn at Wilkins Farm in Coats, NC

August 18, 2023

Alex & River’s Wedding at The Barn at Wilkins Farm in Coats, NC near Raleigh

From the very beginning, River and Alex really set the tone for one of the most fun weddings we’ve been a part of! Their outdoor wedding ceremony featured classic and fun tunes such as “Boogie Shoes” by KC and the Sunshine Band which had guests already dancing in their seats before the party had even officially begun.

After an absolutely incredible ceremony featuring beautiful vows from the newlyweds, guests headed into the barn for the cocktail hour where we were set up in the loft giving us an excellent view overlooking the spacious yet perfectly laid out and decorated barn. Most weddings we DJ only have 3 special dances to start off the night but River and his dad decided to step it up a notch with a 4th dance. This was no ordinary dance… no, River and his dad busted out the moves with an impressively choreographed and hilarious series of moves featuring tons of props. After a performance like that, it’s impossible not to have a super fun dance party and this one most certainly was. River and Alex wrapped up the night with a sparkler exit to the perfectly chosen song “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge to seal the deal on a night that we and the guests won’t ever forget.

Hats off to a great couple that made us feel like family!

Becky & Jarett’s Rustic Barn Wedding at Dorsett House in Siler City, NC

August 17, 2023

Becky & Jarett’s Wedding at Dorsett House in Siler City, NC by Tierney Riggs Photography

It was truly a perfect day for a mostly outdoor wedding at Dorsett House in Siler City, NC!

During the ceremony under the pavilion, officiant Ann Mckenzie wove together a beautiful story of how bride and groom Becky and Jarett found their way to the altar. It was a truly touching and special wedding ceremony as always by one of our favorite officiants, Ann. Cocktail hour took place outside the Dorsett house where guests enjoyed food, drink, and games out on the patio which provided the perfect setup for the grand entrance.

After the introductions, Becky and Jarett gave a warm welcome to all the guests followed by a blessing from Becky’s father to kick off a delicious meal. While dinner was being served, toasts by the best man and maid of honor really illuminated why the newlyweds are so perfect for one another. With dinner ending, everyone wasted no time getting out on the dance floor back under the pavilion. We got to play all kinds of artists and genres from Bruce Springsteen to Steve Aoki which made for a super fun dance party that lasted late in the night, ending with an unforgettable last dance to “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey. It was such a pleasure to be a part of Becky and Jarett’s big day – days like these are what keeps us doing what we do. Both from the bride and groom as well as their guests we truly felt welcomed as a part of the family for the day which made it all the more special for us.
